Experts agreed the challenge is difficult, saying no carbon capturing technology exists.
You can't argue with a consensus of anonymous experts now can you?
Do you have an estimate of the extraction/conversion rate of a good sized say Maple or Oak tree?
only a moron believes any of this
History WILL repeat itself; in fact the project itself is a reflection of history already repeating itself.
During the earlier "17th-century quest to revolutionize navigation by determining longitude", officially sponsored by the government of Great Britain, the orthodox scientists (who were all wrong) succeeded for decades to stifle the work of the lone genius, a clockmaker named John Harrison, whose work finally proved the solution.
Their efforts against him were so effective that he died before his proofs were recognized and it was his son that had to continue the fight begun by his father. Yet the fight was worth it because in the end it was his father that was proved right and nearly all other competitors, particularly those supported by the official British academy of scientists, that were wrong.
As an interesting aside here; during the effort [to supply the instruments for a ship's captain to know the ship's longitude at any time and at any place at sea] Harrison built a clock (to test his theories) which has all of its parts made of out of wood. It is on display in London still today and still working.
There is a great book about the fight with the British "official" scientists that Harrison had. Its called Longitude: "The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time", by Dava Sobel. Its a small book, but the story is big and has a big warning for today - be very weary of "official", "consenus" and orthodox scientific points of view, they are often more dangerous than the sceptic.
I will suggest space mining as the ultimate cure for all this atmosphere/climate nonsense. Repeal the Treaty.
Anyone ever asked those retards what do they think the planet would be like if there were no GHG in the atmosphere?
Thanks for posting this. I heard about it earlier but with all the chores and moose today it had slipped my mind. I am on their update list.
That is a famous competition. Every now and then somebody mentions it, and there was a TV special a decade ago about it.
Oops! I missed that! Thanks for pointing it out.
You can't argue with a consensus of anonymous experts now can you?
Don't be silly, Al Gore is hardly anonymous! ;^)
Same way that poor French doctor who saw the connection between infections and hand washing was ostracized by the medical community and later committed suicide or almost did (forget that minor detail). Divergent thinkers are often excoriated and mocked.
I should add...
If no CO2 filtering technology exists, How do the navy Subs deal with the CO2 breathed out by the submariners? It wouldn't be due to CO2 filtering technology, would it?
Just found these...

Thanks Google.
Next.
Too late I already figured it out. Tape Hillary's mouth and butthole shut.
Wow, Google just saved you the 25 million it would otherwise cost you to discover such technology. You could send them a check in gratitude...but then again they seem to making enough money as it is.
